Fall is coming, and with it comes sweater weather, warm drinks and a brand new skin care regimen. As the cooler temperatures hit, make sure your skin is ready for fall by following the tips below.

• Moisturize – when the air is drier, you’ll need a heavier moisturizer (cream rather than lighter, oil-based formulas) to keep your skin from cracking. And moisturize every day for the best results.
• Exfoliate – exfoliation is key in preventing dryness and keeping your skin soft. Use an all-natural scrub without harsh chemicals or plastic beads. Exfoliation can sometimes be harsh on your skin, so try exfoliating your skin once a week during the fall months.
• Get some rest – sleep is always the best medicine for glowing skin, and rest has a whole host of other benefits, so there’s no excuse for skipping out. Make sure you’re getting between 7-9 hours every night to look and feel your best.
• Hydrate – it’s easy to remember to guzzle water when the weather is steamy and you’re sweating it all out. But don’t miss out on drinking plenty of fluid all year round. Stay away from too much sugar or caffeine, plain water is best.
• Sunscreen – just because it isn’t 100 degrees and sunny outside doesn’t mean the sun can’t damage your skin. Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 on all areas of your body that aren’t covered by clothing, and reapply throughout the day as necessary, especially on your face.
• Don’t forget – areas like lips and cuticles get dry too, and can be particularly painful if they crack. Lip balm and cuticle cream are quick additions to your skin care routine and will save you from painful dry areas.

Most importantly, always pay attention to what your skin is telling you. You may need to switch products as the colder weather approaches. Seasonal changes definitely affect your body in many ways, so if you notice breakouts, flaky skin or other problems, it’s a sign that whatever you’re doing now needs to be changed up. Don’t be afraid to experiment this fall to see what works best for your skin care regimen.
